Caderyn

Caderyn was the last High King of the Elves. He is remembered fearfully as the man who destroyed the Elven people with his own arrogance and hubris.

Caderyn was the second son of High-King Cullen, and thus was never meant to inherit the throne. However, as the Elves were expanding their Empire into the Ledean mainland, they were attacked by humans; a tribe known as the Bellucians. The Bellucians raided and destroyed Elven settlements, which roused High-King Cullen from his lethargic reign, he called his people to make war on the Bellucians.

In the ensuing battle, both Cullen and Prince Mellan, the eldest son and heir, were slain by the Bellucians. And so, Caderyn became king, but shortly into his reign grew arrogant and greedy. He was not content with his title, and demanded more; he declared himself an equal of the Gods. And so, the Gods destroyed Caderyn and all of Glashim. By their mercy, the Ronan colonies were spared, so that the Elven people did survive, but were humbled by the great loss of their Empire and homeland.
